The Fiat 600 Jolly was conceived by Gianni Agnelli as a beach car meant for motorized transport from his yacht. It was produced from 1958 to 1966, with roughly 200 examples built on the 600 platform. This particular example was gifted new from the Fiat factory to a Chrysler engineer, named Knecht, who had been working with Fiat in Italy. After returning to the U.S., he settled on Harsens Island in Michigan, and the Fiat was brought with him. Ownership later passed to his brother, a resident of Birmingham, Michigan. In 1975, it was acquired by the O'Brien family of Boyne City, Michigan and remained in their care for nearly four decades. From 2010 to 2011, it received refurbishment. In August of 2012, it was purchased by James K. Dobbs III, at which point it had 4,068 kilometers on the odometer.
